      <title>Spectrum: Concordia University Research Repository Launched</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Concordia &lt;/span&gt;University Libraries is proud to mark international Open Access Week (October 19 – 23) with the launch of &lt;em&gt;Spectrum: Concordia University Research Repository&lt;/em&gt;.  Spectrum is a new digital resource which, in keeping with the university's strategic plan to develop community engagement and social responsibility, can make Concordia scholarship freely accessible to everyone via the internet. &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Spectrum currently contains the full text of over 6000 theses and dissertations produced at the university from 1967 to 2003.  It also offers Concordia faculty and researchers an additional venue for sharing their research using a simple process of self-submission.  The name Spectrum reflects the variety of original research and creative activity that characterizes the scholarly output of Concordia University. The database, in development since 2007, is an initiative of the Concordia University Libraries supported by the Office of the Vice-President, Research &amp;amp; Graduate Studies.  &lt;/p&gt;    
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;I &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;am &lt;/span&gt;delighted to see the launch of this significant new resource,&amp;quot; said Louise Dandurand, Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies. &amp;quot;The creation of a Research Repository speaks to Concordia's commitment to increase its contribution to world knowledge and promote public access to the results of publicly funded research.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;Research deposited in Spectrum is highly visible, because the site will be searchable using popular search engines such as Google and Google Scholar,&amp;quot; added Jocelyn Godolphin, Associate University Librarian for Collection Services. &amp;quot;Concordia University now joins some 1200 other repositories round the world in providing a university-wide open access repository which will increase accessibility and preserve the scholarship produced by Concordia University researchers.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;Explore Spectrum at: &lt;a href="http://spectrum.library.concordia.ca"&gt;http://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt; 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://library.concordia.ca/research/openaccess/?guid=concordia"&gt;Spectrum workshop&lt;/a&gt;: Increase the Visibility of your Research on October 22 in Webster Library and on October 26 in Vanier Library will review the submission process and kinds of scholarly publications that can be added at this time to Spectrum.  For more information, contact: &lt;a href="mailto:Spectrum@alcor.concordia.ca"&gt;Spectrum@alcor.concordia.ca&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Greater and improved electrical outlet access for laptop users</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The number of electrical outlets has been expanded in the Webster Library. You can now plug in your laptops on any of the 100 powerbars installed on all three floors of the library.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Vanier Library  portion of the project will get under way in the next few &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;weeks&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Concordia Libraries now have silent and quiet Study Zones</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Starting in September 2009, Concordia Libraries have designated &lt;a href="/services/studyspaces/index.php#zones"&gt;Study Zones&lt;/a&gt;: Blue Zones for silent individual study and Orange Zones for quiet group and individual study. Recent surveys plus feedback from our &lt;a href="http://libsuggestions.wordpress.com/category/noise/"&gt;Suggestion Box&lt;/a&gt; told us that excessive noise was the single biggest problem faced by students searching for a place to work.  In the Webster and Vanier libraries, look for signs designating the study area that works best for you.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Media hold pickups moved to Circulation at Webster</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Media materials that have been requested in CLUES for a pickup at Webster will now be picked up at the Circulation Desk, not the 3rd floor Media Desk. This new pickup location also applies to videos that have been booked for class showings. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Webster media items can still be borrowed from the Media Desk on the third floor. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information about placing requests/holds in CLUES, please see: &lt;a href="http://library.concordia.ca/services/circulation/selfholds.php"&gt;http://library.concordia.ca/services/circulation/selfholds.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Library using students’ MyConcordia portal email address</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;As of July 3, 2009, Concordia undergraduate and graduate students will no longer need to "sign up" for &lt;a href="http://dev.library.concordia.ca/services/circulation/email.php"&gt;library email notices&lt;/a&gt;.  The library will get students&amp;#8217; email addresses directly from the MyConcordia portal.&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;All Library notices (reminders of due dates, recalls, fines, etc.) will be sent to the email address students have registered in the portal. Students who wish to change their email address must do so in the &lt;a href="https://www.myconcordia.ca/"&gt;portal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;  
 
&lt;p&gt;Concordia faculty and staff as well as non-Concordia users (CREPUQ, Alumni, etc.) will continue to update their email using &lt;a href="https://mercury.concordia.ca/patroninfo~S0"&gt;MyCLUES&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Construction in the Webster Library: February Update</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update for week beginning February 16, 2009.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We have received a new estimated time of completion from the contractors. All work around Webster Library's third floor Media Services desk should be completed by February 27th. Work on the second floor, where office spaces have been reconfigured to house more staff, will be completed one week later. Library staff thank all Webster Library users for their continued patience.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update for week beginning January 12, 2009.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The contractor will be back on site on Monday January 12th to continue with the preparation of the space. A temporary wall around the 3rd Floor counter will begin on January 19th. The construction of the walls for the 2nd Floor offices and the 3rd Floor counter will begin January 26th. Most work will happen between January 26th and February 20th.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Update for Week Beginning December 8th.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This week, the 3rd floor Media Services Desk will be moved forward a few feet prior to a reorganization of the staff spaces behind it, and in preparation for the subsequent relocation of Webster Library&amp;#8217;s Interlibrary Loans operation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also, all electrical work is expected to be completed in preparation for the relocation of the 3rd floor&amp;#8217;s graphic work stations and carrels. When the new configuration is complete, these work stations will be in the 3rd floor&amp;#8217;s atrium area, i.e. directly in front of the desk. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Construction in the Webster Library&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Contractors and electricians will be working on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Webster Library for several weeks as of November 24th.  They will be on site Monday-Friday 8 hours/day starting at 5:00 a.m. Much of the work will take place away from public areas. All noisy work (e.g. drilling) should be completed by 8:00 a.m. each morning, after which we anticipate only minimal disturbance for library users. Access to our services and collections should not be restricted at any time during this busy period.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We sincerely apologize to all our Webster Library users and staff for any inconvenience they may experience.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When completed, this work will provide some 120 square metres of additional study space for students, while also allowing some important adjustments to library operations. Our Government Information Services  unit has already been relocated in preparation. The most visible change over the next few weeks will be the relocation of Interlibrary Loans to the 3rd-floor Media Services area.   &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We intend to provide regular updates and a more detailed timetable for the work as and when these become available. In the meantime, desk staff will be pleased to answer or refer your immediate questions. Please direct more general comments and suggestions to our &lt;a href="http://library.concordia.ca/about/feedback/"&gt;e-mail feedback service&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Students live in Webster Library to raise money for world literacy</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://library.concordia.ca/about/news/images/livein_for_literacy.jpg" border="0" alt="Live-In for Literacy" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As part of &lt;a href="http://www.liveinforliteracy.com"&gt;Live-in for Literacy&lt;/a&gt; 2009, a DREAM (Discover the Reality of Educating All Minds) project, two Concordia students are pitching tents in the Webster Library where they will be living from January 16th until January 26th. This is the first year that Concordia University participates in this event. Six other Universities across Canada will also be participating.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;DREAM aims to raise $40,000 in donations coast to coast to construct nine school libraries in India through the internationally renowned charity &lt;a href="http://www.roomtoread.org/"&gt;Room to Read&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"India&amp;#8217;s children desperately need our help. The seeds for Room to Read were planted when I visited a library in Nepal for 450 children that contained no books" said John Wood, CEO and Founder of Room to Read. "What these students in Canada are doing is going to have a direct impact on the lives of thousands of children and I support their energy, enthusiasm and 'Go Big' spirit!"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The students must remain in the library 24 hours a day, with only five minutes of every hour permitted for bathroom or other necessary breaks. "It's not easy missing classes and living in a roped-off area for 10 days&amp;#8221; said John MacDonald, DREAM Co-Chair and a past camper of the event, &amp;#8220;but it's a lot easier than the lives of the children we're helping. They don&amp;#8217;t have a library to read in, let alone live in &amp;#8211; so with the help of Room to Read and all of Canada, we&amp;#8217;re building them nine."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the past four years the event raised $50,000 to help build a computer lab in Cambodia and nine school libraries in Nepal. This year&amp;#8217;s event will be &lt;a href="http://www.liveinforliteracy.com/webcams.html"&gt;broadcast&lt;/a&gt; live via webcam 24 hours a day at the Live-In for Literacy website. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For more information, or to send a donation, visit: &lt;a href="http://www.liveinforliteracy.com"&gt;www.liveinforliteracy.com&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Criterion license at Concordia for Classroom Viewing of Films</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Canadian copyright requires that public performance rights be obtained in order to show a film in a classroom or other venue on campus.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Concordia University has signed a public performance license agreement with &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.criterionpic.com/"&gt;Criterion&lt;/a&gt; which allows films covered by the agreement to be shown at the University for educational purposes.  Films covered by the agreement may be shown at the University whether they are obtained from the Library, video/DVD store, or your own personal collection.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;The license agreement includes all films produced by studios listed in &lt;a href="/services/pms/appendixa.pdf"&gt;Appendix A&lt;/a&gt; of the license agreement. To determine if a film you wish to show is included in the agreement, check if the producer/studio is represented in the list.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;In addition Criterion maintains a &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.criterionpic.com/cpl/qsearch.htx"&gt;list of film titles&lt;/a&gt; which may be searched to determine the producer/studio of a film.  Please note that the list of film titles does not include all films covered in the agreement. &lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;For more information on public performance rights and classroom viewing see the &lt;a href="/help/copyright/index.php?guid=videos"&gt;Copyright Guide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;For information on booking a film for classroom viewing see &lt;a href="/services/pms/booking.php"&gt;Video Booking Service&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Double-sided printing pilot project</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In response to students’ requests to offer more sustainable and environmentally friendly services, we are pleased to announce a pilot project to make double-sided printing the default on the library printers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The objective with this pilot project is to identify technical and service issues that may arise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The pilot is limited to the printers on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Webster Library. As of December 10, print jobs sent from Library workstations at Webster will be printed double-sided by default.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All Vanier workstations, the Libraries’ laptops as well as our patrons’ personal laptops will not be part of the pilot and will continue to print single sided jobs for the present.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you wish to print single-sided to a Webster Library black and white printer, you will have to change the print setting to Single-sided.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While double-sided printing will be saving paper, other costs associated with printing (e.g. toner and equipment) will remain the same or slightly increase as printers may require more maintenance. However, once double-sided printing is fully implemented in the Library and we can account for any savings, we will look at the possibility of price reduction. It is not our intention to make money as a result of this initiative.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Full implementation of double-sided printing on all library printers will depend on success of the pilot. If all goes well, our target date for converting all Library printers is early January. However, Library laptops may not be properly configured to print double-sided until late January. We are also exploring options for double-sided printing from personal laptops owned by Library users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for your cooperation with implementing this new environmentally friendly service.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Integration of Blackwell Synergy and Wiley InterScience journal content</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The journal content previously available on Blackwell Synergy is now being delivered through &lt;a href="http://0-www.interscience.wiley.com.mercury.concordia.ca/"&gt;Wiley InterScience&lt;/a&gt; because of the merger of Wiley-Blackwell's online journal systems. Blackwell Synergy is no longer operating. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Links to Blackwell Synergy journals in CLUES and in the E-Journals list are automatically redirecting to the Wiley Interscience website. See &lt;a href="http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/aboutus/wiley-blackwell/transition_end-users.html"&gt;Wiley-Blackwell Online Content Transition News&lt;/a&gt; for more information. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>$47 million enhances digital scholarly content for social sciences and humanities
        research at Canadian universities.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;
&lt;img src="http://library.concordia.ca/images/databases/crkn.jpg" border="0" alt="add text" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
Thanks to a joint $47 million investment by the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), eight provinces and 67 universities, researchers, scholars and students in Canadian universities will have desktop access to a rich digital collection of scholarly content, ranging from books, letters and historical documents to music scores, maps, artworks and visual materials. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The funding allowed CRKN to negotiate with international and Canadian scholarly publishers for 14 major collections, bringing global knowledge to Canada and making accessible in digital form some of the finest in Canadian published scholarly material.
 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This investment is the work of the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), a consortium of universities dedicated to expanding digital content in support of the academic research enterprise in Canada.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
These collections will become available at Concordia in the next few months. More information at &lt;a href=" http://library.concordia.ca/about/partnerships/cnslp.html#crkn-dci"&gt; our CRKN webpage&lt;/a&gt; as access is established.

      <title>Free Interlibrary Loan journal articles!</title>
      <description>As of August 1, all &lt;a href="http://library.concordia.ca/research/ill/"&gt;Interlibrary Loan&lt;/a&gt; journal articles, regardless of 
length, are free of charge for Concordia faculty members, students and staff. Previously, 
the Libraries charged a fee of $4.00 for articles under 30 pages (and an extra 30 cents per 
additional page). It is hoped that this change will make the service more accessible, 
particularly to students. Note that there will continue to be charges for certain non-article 
items, such as theses or reports.</description>

      <title>NEW DATABASE: Portico</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://library.concordia.ca/images/databases/Portico2.jpg" border="0" alt=" Portico" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://0-www.portico.org.mercury.concordia.ca/Portico/browse/access/alpha.por"&gt; Portico&lt;/a&gt;  provides a permanent archive of scholarly literature published in electronic form, beginning with electronic journals. Campus-wide access to archived content will be granted to libraries supporting Portico when specific conditions are met that cause titles to no longer be available from the publisher or any other source. These specific conditions are often called trigger events and include: a publisher stops operations, or a publisher ceases to publish a title, or a publisher no longer offers back issues, or upon catastrophic and sustained failure of a publisher's delivery platform. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Currently, two titles have been triggered, and are now  available to all supporting libraries through Portico, regardless of whether a library previously subscribed to the publisher&amp;#8217;s offering.

      <title>2 TRIALS: Encyclopaedia of Islam and Encyclopaedia Islamica</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://library.concordia.ca/images/databases/Brill.gif" border="0" alt="Brill Online" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Encyclopaedia of Islam is one of the major reference works in religious studies, containing more than 15,000 articles on all aspects of Islam and Islamic culture. The electronic version of this encyclopedia provides access to Volumes I-XII of the New Edition (published 1955-2005) as well as the Third Edition (2007- ) as new material becomes available. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Encyclopaedia Islamica: 
This volume of Encyclopaedia Islamica is the first of a projected 16-volume publication, consisting of an abridged and edited translation of the Persian Da’irat al-Ma‘arif-i Buzurg-i Islami, one of the most comprehensive sources on Islam and the Muslim world. One unique feature of this work of reference lies in the attention it gives to Shi‘i Islam and its rich and diverse heritage, which makes it complementary to other encyclopaedias. In addition to providing entries on important themes, subjects and personages in Islam generally, it offers the western reader an opportunity to appreciate the various dimensions of Shi‘i Islam, the Persian contribution to Islamic civilisation, and the spiritual dimensions of the Islamic tradition. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Both are available on trial basis until 30 November 2008.&lt;/b&gt;</description>

      <title>Online access to international scholarly content set to boost Canada's research capacity in social sciences and humanities</title>
      <description>&lt;img src="http://library.concordia.ca/images/databases/crkn.jpg" border="0" alt="CRKN" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
  Ottawa, February 8, 2007 &amp;ndash; The Canada Foundation for Innovation today
  announced a $19.1 million investment to support the development of a new
  infrastructure for social sciences and humanities research. The funds were
  awarded to the &lt;a href="http://www.researchknowledge.ca/"&gt;Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN)&lt;/a&gt; &amp;mdash; a consortium
  of Canadian universities that provides its members with desktop access to a wide
  range of research content through licensing and purchase agreements with
  Canadian and international publishers. The University of Ottawa will be the host
institution for this new national infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  The acquisition of digital content from international sources will enable over
  800,000 researchers and graduate students to draw upon a wealth of digital
  journals, databases and other scholarly content from social sciences and
  humanities disciplines. With 67 participating universities across the country, this
  initiative will significantly enhance the capacity of Canadian researchers to
  advance knowledge and remain at the forefront in rapidly changing areas of
research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &amp;ldquo;The new digital content infrastructure will profoundly change the way Canadians
  conduct research in the fields of social sciences and humanities, said Dr. Ronald
  Bond, Provost Emeritus, University of Calgary, and Chair of the CRKN Advisory
  Board. The expanded access to global knowledge will create new opportunities
  for Canadian researchers and serve as a catalyst for the development of
  interactive and networked approaches for learning and discovery.&amp;rdquo;
  Over 50% of academic researchers and students in Canada are engaged in the
  social sciences and humanities. Research in areas such as aboriginal studies,
  communications, multiculturalism, economics, sustainable development, law,
  business, and education has an enormous impact on all aspects of Canadian
  society.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  At present, only the largest institutions in the world are able to supply their
  researchers with a comprehensive array of international content resources in the
  social sciences and humanities, and the rate of digital publication is increasing
  beyond the capacity of even the best-equipped universities.
&amp;ldquo;It is absolutely essential for Canada to engage in this sort of initiative to be at the
forefront of social sciences and humanities research, said Dr. Michael Geist,
Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law at the University of
Ottawa. The new digital infrastructure will not only promote collaboration
between Canadian and international researchers, but it will also help create the
type of online communities needed to address complex, interdisciplinary issues
facing modern society.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  The initiative is an expansion of an already successful CRKN program that
  provides Canadian researchers with access to international content in the natural
  and health sciences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  The Canadian Research Knowledge Network is a partnership of Canadian
  universities, dedicated to expanding digital content for the academic research
  enterprise in Canada. Through the coordinated leadership of librarians,
  researchers and administrators, CRKN undertakes large-scale content
  acquisition and licensing initiatives in order to build knowledge infrastructure and
  research capacity in Canada&amp;rsquo;s universities. &lt;/p&gt;

   &lt;b&gt;For information, please contact:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;a href="mailto:william.curran@concordia.ca"&gt;Mr. William M. Curran&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
    Director of Libraries&lt;/p&gt;
  
&lt;h5&gt;ABOUT CRKN&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  &lt;a href="http://www.researchknowledge.ca/"&gt;CRKN&lt;/a&gt; began in 1999 as the Canadian National Site Licensing Project (CNSLP), a 3&amp;#8208;year
  demonstration project made possible through a $20 million award from the Canada Foundation for
  Innovation and a $30 million contribution from 64 Canadian universities, 9 provincial
  governments and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  In April 2004, following five years of successful national operations in licensing digital content in
  science, engineering, health and environmental disciplines, CNSLP was incorporated as a not&amp;#8208;forprofit
  organization and renamed the Canadian Research Knowledge Network. The CRKN now
  delivers over 2,200 electronic journals and research databases to Canadian researchers, and
  manages contracts valued at over $50 million annually.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
  CRKN currently holds agreements with the following scholarly publishers. The Social Sciences
  and Humanities Digital Content Infrastructure Initiative will enable CRKN to expand its
  partnerships with additional publishers and content providers to deliver international, high&amp;#8208;value
  content in social sciences and humanities disciplines to Canadian researchers and students.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO) available during February</title>
      <description>&lt;a href="http://library.concordia.ca/research/databases/index.php?action=SeeInfo&amp;amp;RID=982"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Eighteenth Century Collections Online (ECCO)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; is a nearly comprehensive collection of the works published in the English language (and non-English language works printed in England) during the eighteenth century, 
approximately 150,000 books, with 33,000,000 pages. Covers the full spectrum of 
intellectual activity in the century: literature, history, geography, law, science, 
medicine, technology, the fine arts, religion, philosophy, political science and government. 
Includes poems, plays, novels, histories, travel books, parliamentary papers, 
parish registers, conduct books, cook books, almanacs-all the categories and 
genres published during the period. Translations into the English language and 
foreign language works printed in England (often because of censorship) 
are also included. &lt;b&gt;The trial will end March 1, 2007.&lt;/b&gt;.</description>

      <description>&lt;img src="http://library.concordia.ca/images/databases/eng_village_logo.gif" border="0" alt="Engineering Village" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Concordia Libraries have switched INSPEC Web from EIT’s platform to the Elsevier Engineering Village 2 
platform which allows for cross-searching with Compendex. By default, the database is searched together 
with &lt;a href="http://library.concordia.ca/research/databases/index.php?action=SeeInfo&amp;amp;RID=465"&gt;Compendex&lt;/a&gt;, but both INSPEC Web and Compendex can be searched individually by selecting or deselecting 
one of the databases. Duplicate results can be easily removed.</description>
